Improving fit of work uniforms used in laboratories and workshops

Abstract

Clothing comfort can be described as an individual's feeling physiologically, psychologically and physically satisfied and balanced in that clothing and under current environmental conditions. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the body movement comfort of work uniforms used by people working in laboratories and workshops through wear trials, to determine the factors, if any, that negatively affect the body movement comfort, to make pattern modifications to ensure user satisfaction, and to propose an example work uniform pattern model. At the end of the study, some modifications were made on the basic work uniform pattern based on the data obtained from research parameters.
